You know you’re a writer when you’re decided whether you want to include someone’s backstory or not, and decide to do so not because it’s fun to write, but because it’s heart wrenching and when you say so, your sister says only this, “Sigh.”

@Jess lovely topic. I have a lot of thoughts on unhappy endings, but I haven’t got time to consolidate them all now, so I’ll just leave you with the biggest two.

The first is the concept of catharsis. The reader must be satisfied in some way or other. The reader must feel that something was gained; that the world is somehow better as they leave…[Read more]

@allison-grace What a neat idea!
Here are two quotes I love…

@Catwing Yes! That’s a great idea! Very unique! *nods* Glad to be of service.

But now I must depart. Good luck on thy iron gongs. 😀

Gongs! I love gongs! Such great sounds. 😀
@catwing

@Catwing No dragon hoard? …Well, for those poor dragons of the lesser class *inspects talons* they usually spend their time lazily sleeping as you said. Doing nothing. There’s a reason they have no gold.

@catwing That could work. Dragons like to pretend they know a lot, be we really just count our gold for centuries. Not that it gets boring or anything.

@catwing

Perhaps because the fact that they are cold-blooded helps them not to burn up while breathing fire in the first place. Or maybe because they drink hot-sauce…*shrugs*
I’m editing, then I’ll be evilly plotting.

@daughteroftheking Have fun…ah…consuming dinner. 😛

*cough* You have to see this GIF.

@daughteroftheking *glances at you skeptically* Is for story or inspiration or whatever?
*shrugs* Either way I don’t mind. 😛 Whatcha drawing?

@daughteroftheking Well, I wasn’t. But now I am. You there still?

@aislinn-mollisong XD I’m sure it doesn’t make a problem. There are probably other novels out there with the name Ace. Don’t worry about it. 😀

And I hope you get better!

@dragon-snapper No, not writing. I’m kinda out of inspiration (or possibly motivation, idk) plus I’m sick. So yeah. And I didn’t steal it! Wait, does it cause a problem that Allie’s superhero name is Ace?!

@aislinn-mollisong Oh yeah…and are you writing right now? I am.

@aislinn-mollisong Ace is his nickname too. 😛 Don’t steal it.

@dragon-snapper Ace?! That’s my nickname! (Well, Aislinn’s nickname, but whatever.)

Also, another friend from Aetherlight is joining! Her name will probably be Silverclaw. @daughteroftheking you may pounce on her if you want. 😉

AWESOME!!!! I absolutely LOVE this! I think maybe it would be equally fine with or without the diary dates.

Thanks, @seek-justice! I was wondering what happened to that book…

@catwing I will beta-read it! I love beta reading…even though I’ve never really done it before….

@catwing Thanks, friend.
@salome01w4g You poor thing! I hate storms too.
